(A) Parking garage design standards. Parking garage structures shall require specific approval of design features by the City Commission. Parking garage structures shall be designed to resemble the primary building for which they serve parking needs. Points of resemblance shall include architectural design, exterior finish, and perimeter landscaping treatment subject to specific landscaping requirements set forth in Chapter 157, Landscape and Arbor Regulations. Internal lighting of the parking garage shall be designed so as to minimize illumination visible from the exterior of said garage.
(B) Parking space and aisle dimensions. As shown in division (D), these standards provide a number of alternatives from which a developer may choose, depending on the needs of the use being served. In designing a particular parking garage, spaces and aisles may all be designed to the same standard, or a mix of different sized spaces may be provided subject to the approval of the city.
(C) Compact spaces. Up to 30 percent of the required parking spaces in any parking garage may be designed as compact spaces in accordance with the standards set forth in division (D). These spaces shall be prominently marked and posted.
(D) Minimum parking space and aisle dimensions for parking facilities. All parking spaces, aisles and modules shall conform to the following minimum standards:
Spaces | Aisles | Modules | |||||
Parking Angle | Width Parallel to Aisle | Depth to Wall | Depth to Interlock | Width* | Turning Radius | Wall to Wall | Interlock to Interlock |
Spaces | Aisles | Modules | |||||
